Healing Perceptions: Overcoming Negativity Towards Men

In this candid conversation I sit down with UK therapist Laura How to unpack the quiet crisis facing men today: loneliness, sexless marriages, and the feeling that no one’s actually listening.

Over her 20-plus years in practice, Laura has watched the suicide numbers climb while seeing the same pain walk into her office every week. Together we dig into:

• Why “just talk to her” feels impossible—and how to make it work
• The hard truth about responsibility, blame, and those “bickering-toddler” stand-offs
• How childbirth, resentment, and weight gain hijack desire (and what brings it back)
• Duty, sex, and care: what wives owe husbands—and vice-versa
• When a marriage crosses the line from rough patch to harmful
• Why a stable, affectionate partnership is the single biggest gift you can give your kids
